The Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol (R-TEP) is part of a comprehensive approach to Early EMDR Intervention (EEI). This workshop incorporates and extends existing protocols within a new conceptual framework, together with additional measures for containment and safety. Checking for sub-clinical sticking points which can obstruct Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) and don't necessarily show up on the DSM radar, R-TEP may reduce sensitization and accumulation of trauma memories. A new practical application - the Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) - with its worksheet format for simplified utilization in emergency situations will be discussed.
